I want to go to a concert in the middle of the night, maybe at the Hultsfred Festival, a cold swedish summernight and I have gone to the concert alone cause no one with me was really interested. It's cold but I get in the middle of the crowd and it's warm and I can't really see anything but people's backs, but it doesn't really matter. Cause I hear the music and I'm there in the middle, and I close my eyes and I just listen to the music and and to the beat and probably just move more than dance. There will probably be screens with some psychedelic pictures flashing, changing with the beat and the air is filled with dust and cigarette smoke and warmth, and everyone is tired, probably a bit drunk or hung-over, but happy and the beat moves the crowd like a whole body. And there will be random hugs, or maybe kisses, with random strangers and there will be the taste of cigarettes in my mouth and I'd like to take some pictures but there is nothing that could capture this feeling anyway, so I don't bother to dig thru my bag for the camera. The music seems to never stop, but when it has, the night has turned to early morning and getting out of the huge concert tent everyone blinks at the light and I walk back to my tent. Talks to some people on the way, smiling to everyone and I'm just there. It's cold again and I go to sleep listening to the ones just waking up or still haven't gone to bed, and I drift off to sleep to shouts and screams and music from a bad stereo.
This summer it's festival for me again, missed it last year and defenitely won't this time around. Allready looking forward to it.
